What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my cloud expertise to drive impactful projects and contribute to a forward-thinking team.

I am a results-driven Cloud Architect and DevOps Engineer with over 14 years of experience in designing, implementing, and optimizing scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud solutions. My deep expertise spans across Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and DevOps best practices. I have a proven track record of driving engineering efficiency, reducing operational costs, and aligning technical strategies with business objectives. Notably, I successfully boosted engineering productivity by 35% and achieved over $3M in annual cost savings through automation and infrastructure optimization.

In my current role at XT Global Technologies, I led a hybrid cloud transformation project that migrated 80% of our infrastructure to Azure and AWS, enabling platform agility and significant cost savings. I architected highly available Azure environments and integrated monitoring solutions that reduced mean time to recovery by 40%. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my efforts to streamline CI/CD pipelines, which resulted in a 70% reduction in release cycles. I am passionate about fostering cross-functional collaboration and delivering training to upskill engineering teams, ensuring that we stay ahead in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
